WNxJesus, on 08 September 2010 - 08:49 PM, said: Well but I mentioned IS4 exactly, because a lot of people just go for IS4 from russian heavy tree instead of an IS-7. Cuz it's supposedly better
Anyway.. yea. Well it was just odd that you just re copy the same value for maxed out tier 10, MrVic

Bulldog, on 08 September 2010 - 11:32 AM, said: Ok so the best gun for the KV is the 107, I want to save all the xp I can for the kv-3 so I was thinking the 122 might be a cheaper option that's still viable. Is it completely useless or will it be good enough. I am a really shite tank driver so I don't get much xp very often so I need to save all I can.

WNxJesus, on 08 September 2010 - 02:48 PM, said: Well you could also add credit costs for fully upgraded tanks.
Also I think it's pretty wrong that you add xp to fully upgrade tier 10 heavies which don't need any extra xp, but you don't add extra xp to max out tier9s like IS-4 or VK4502 for example.
But nice work nonetheless. Though I still like the one which somebody made and which was with tech tree pictures, even if it was pre-patch

Sakuzhi, on 07 September 2010 - 05:47 PM, said: Let's see...
Tier 4: T-28 against the PzIII.
PzIII has much better armor. However, the T-28 carries the 85mm which is many times more effective than the 50mm the PzIII carries.
PzIII:Faster, more like a Light tank than a Medium.
T-28:Slower, but still pretty quick, Great Gun for the Tier. Think Glass Cannon.
Would give the Edge to the T-28: It is a true medium tank, and has a greater ability to do more damage in a smaller period of time, as the armor for both "eh".
T-28 would agree but barely, both tanks have their roles for sure. THe bad side is the T-28 suffers until the 85mm overal. its really a this or that tier
Tier 5: KV-1 against the PzIV.
KV-1: First Heavy in the game, thick armor with great guns. The 107mm and the LOLWTHOMGBBQ 152mm.
PzIV: Okay speed for a medium, gets the 75mm/70 with the bobblehead turret, makes a good sniping Medium.
Edge goes to the KV-1: Both are sniper types of Tanks, but the KV has better armor and Guns, with the 152mm has the Ability to One-shot everything Tier 6 and under.
I think the Pv IV wins out here, Able to deal with multiple threats and its speed lets it pick many fights, where as the KV is slow and a giant arty magnet combined with being a heavy and easy to spot. The 152 might hit and kill a single tank but you are defenseless during the insane reload time. Also with a 15 degree a sec turret your easy flanked
Tier 6: KV-3 against the Vk3601(H).
KV-3:A true lumbering Beast, very thick armor. Still has the 107mm. Sloped armor.
Vk3601(H): Gets the 88mm, fairly fast for a Medium. Decent armor. Overall, good in all aspects.
Edge goes to the KV-3: Is more durable, bounces shots like no one's business. Also the 107mm outperforms the 88mm the VK3601(H). In short, KV-3 wins in Damage/Durability.
Another tier that is kinda of a push, THe 3601 has speed and agility in its favor with soem armor and plenty of hitting power, where the KV-3 is an armored slow turtle, suffers from heavy spotting and not the best agility, but the 3601 is well rounded, pretty much a push for me love both tanks and neither has to much of a edge on the other usally
Tier 7 Tiger against IS (it's the IS-2)
Tiger:Gets....the 88mm/71. It's slower, same armor as Vk3601(H), but gets double the HP. Modules break from Coffee spills.
IS: It's faster than the KV-3, gets the 122mm and has 120mm sloped front armor.
Edge: IS, doesn't break as often, it has better armor the gun hits harder and can deal with faster targets better than Tiger. All around, IS beats Tiger.
Recently went back into a Tiger I after the patch, I have no issues with it. IS's go down easy to it and its speed agility and firepower make it a very well rounded tank. The IS most run the smaller guns due to accuracy issues, where as the tiger can move and engage accurately with a good gun, IS is a bit faster but lacking the firepower and accuracy combo the tiger has going for it. Overall another tier that now seems to be a equal push to me.
And...Well, I can leave it to someone else to finish. Else I'll track the last three tiers later.

luwinkle, on 08 September 2010 - 08:09 AM, said: And pre-wipe I ran into a frequent contributor to these forums in his IS3. We had about 4 other tanks ready to pack with him to go take it to the enemy. He told us all off and turned the other direction. I tried following anyway...he stopped out in the open until the people who were following him went away. I informed him that lonewolfing it in an IS3 was a not a wise move and that he would get killed. He slung insults my way and threatened to TK me. I told him to go ahead and be reported..he shut up after that. And of course he only got 3 kills and died less than halfway into the match because he met up against a large number of enemy players. After I informed him of his folly he said "please stfu". We ended up winning without him.
Actually..pre-wipe most of the people I ran into that were in IS3's were rampant assholes.
These are just the ones I remember.
